Blog Tour + Excerpt - The Duchess Quest (Jordinia #1) by C.K. Brooke

Dainy doesn’t know that she is the lost Duchess of Jordinia, believed to have been assassinated fifteen years ago. Nor does she know that her uncle has implemented an illegal contest to seek her, offering her marriage hand as the reward! Though at odds, three clashing rivals – including a noble giant, a forest dweller and a thieving rake – voyage together by woodland, prairie and sea to recover the lost royal, notwithstanding the assassins and spies at their tail. Soon, young Dainy is swept into a comically complex romantic quadrangle as each suitor competes to capture her heart. Charmingly romantic and bursting with political intrigue, startling twists and vivid characters, readers of romance and fantasy alike will adore this original yet timeless tale of swashbuckling adventure and unlikely love.

“Why have you refused to look at me
all evening?” he muttered. “Have I suddenly sprouted a second head, making me
so hideous?”

Dainy bit her lip. “Perhaps with a second head, Mr. Cosmith, you might actually
possess a brain.”
